A FRANKFORT BRAKEMAN IS KILLED
William O'Hara Dieds from Injuries Received at South Schenectady
William O'Hara of Frankfort, aged 23, died at the Amsterdam City Hospital shortly before noon yesterday from injuries received on the West Shore railroad at South Schenectady.
O'Hara was a brakeman in the employ of the West Shore. The accident which resulted in his death occurred about 9 o'clock while cars were being switched about in the South Schenectady yard. The unfortunate fellow was in the rear of the train, which was backing down upon him, when his left foot became caught in a frog. He was thrown backward and the train passed over him, as it was impossible to remove his foot in time to avert being crushed. As soon as the accident was discovered the injured man was removed to the station and taken to Amsterdam on the 9:56 train. Dr. E.E. Rulison, the company's surgeon, together with Dr. K.T. Kullson, and Dr. Pierce remove him to the hospital. Rev. ?? McIncrow who was present, administered the last rites of the Catholic Church, it being determined by the physicians that his life could not be saved. O'Hara was still conscious on his arrival at the hospital, but he died about a half hour after reaching there. The body was not mutilated. However, he was badly bruised from head to foot, the most serious injuries being about the abdomen. It is believed that his back was also broken. The deceased is survived by his widow and one child. He has two sisters residing in Utica. Mrs. O'Hara has no relatives in this country. The body will be taken to Frankfort for interment.

The actually lists no occupation for Fred, but has chef for his wife Thelma. Because we know he was a chef, we'll go with the thought that entry for chef was in the wrong line. Reinforcing this would be that Thelma has Housework as other work and was marked as not at private work, whereas Fred was marked as being at private work.

29 Isaac Snyder and his wife Nancy sold to Allen Snyder a parcel of land containing approximately 25 square rods for $35. The land began at the northwest corner of Allen's three-square lot (with a red house), ran south to the public road, then southwest 70 feet, north 143 feet, and east 57.5 feet to the point of beginning. This parcel was likely added to Allen's existing house lot. The deed was acknowledged the same day and recorded on May 11, 1858. Snyder, Isaac (I8984)

33 "Carlo," the 185 pound mastiff belonging to Louis Kaune, the hotel man, was shot on Tuesday afternoon. Six weeks ago he began to limp, and it was supposed to be rheumatism. As he was a very valuable animal (being a cross between St. Bernard and New Foundland), Dr. T. K. Crane was called upon to give an opinion regarding his case, the canine's condition steadily growing worse. An examination disclosed that his shoulder had been broken by a kick or from some similar cause, and that he could not recover. Had the injury been discovered at the beginning, it would doubtless have yielded to treatment. Poor Carlo was more deserving of a few lines of obituary poetry than some human beings who get it. Kaune, Johann Ludolph (I704)

50 A deed dated 18 April 1827 from William Feeter to Edward Ellice describes the sale of 65 acres comprising the south half of Lot 1 in Great Lot 13 and part of Lot 1 in Great Lot 12 of Glen's Purchase, located in the town of Fairfield, Herkimer County, New York. In the boundary description, the parcel is said to be bounded on the west by "lands of Barent & John R. Bleecker in possession of Abner Read."

This reference confirms that Abner Read was still residing on land in Lot 12 in 1827, even though he had lost title to the 40-acre parcel there in a sheriff's sale in 1820. The property had been purchased by Charles E. Dudley and then sold to John Nelson in 1825 under a mortgage agreement. Although Nelson held legal title at the time, the Bleeckers— well-known Albany-based attorneys and land agents— were likely involved as agents or legal representatives of Dudley, who was also based in Albany. Their appearance in the deed likely reflects a legal or administrative interest rather than ownership.

The fact that the deeded land lies in Lot 13, and Abner is described as living on adjacent land to the west, supports the conclusion that Abner was still occupying the 40-acre parcel in Lot 12, despite no longer holding legal title. 
Reed, Abner (I20)
